Prologue

Oh, how her head ached. Everything was supposed to be spinning, but all she could see was the darkness. She sat up, dizzy from her poor sense of direction. Why was it so dark? Curious to her lack of sight she reached up to her eyes, but found nothing. All she felt were two empty sockets. Thus, she let out a horrified cry. Why did this have to happen? What happened? Why couldn't she remember?

Interrupting her thoughts memories flooded through her brain at the last second. The fire! She sprung up and tried to breath rapidly from her sudden burst of panic. Yet, no air came. No heart pumped adrenaline through her veins. No blood filled her body. She tried to pinch her skin. Yet, she felt nothing. She blanched as she realized in terror, she was no longer alive.

She clutched her head as millions of questions stormed through her brain while her panic worsened. Why was she dead? She wasn't suppose to die! It was too soon. What about everyone else? Did they survive? No, they were dead. Everyone, her family, her friends they should have all lived! No one should have died!

She jumped as a rich laughter flew through the air as a dark, blurry figure approached her while she blindly tried to pinpoint the voice. Yet, the figure was gone in an instant, only leaving the wicked laugh behind. That laugh, she remembered that laugh, it was the same laugh from the time the fire had started! There was a slight moment as she felt a minor happiness that he was also dead. Yet, she soon lost that comfort when she realized he was with her.

She spun around and around, trying to find where the laugh was coming from. But it was all around her; in her mind. She was helpless, all she could do was listen and spin around like an idiot trying to find what she couldn't see. Watch as everything around her continued to fall apart, dead or alive it was the only thing she could do. It was the only thing she knew how to do. Oh, if only she were stronger, if only she was alive! If so, she would have done something, anything! What she would give to save her family? Her innocence. Her happiness. Her very soul if needed.

"Well then, are you willing to give up everything for your family?"a velvety voice asked.

"Yes!" She cried. Thus, at that moment, air filled her lungs. Her chest became heavy. And she began to breath.
